Good Times Are Waiting

(John McGie/Jon Lundquist)


GOOD TIMES ARE WAITING

I call my friend up
And I get the machine
They’re probably home
I wait for the beep
“Hi guys
It’s just me”
I hang up
I turn on the TV
Good times are waiting for me
Somewhere

I go out
It starts to rain
I watch the people
I make up their names
No one I know
Is heading my way
The clouds are clearing
This could be a great day
Good times are waiting for me 
Somewhere

Somewhere
Someday
If that is when
That’s okay
Anytime
Anyway
Someday
Someone
Somehow
Maybe not here
Maybe not now
But sometime
Some way
Some day

I pop some popcorn
In the microwave
I watch a movie
That I watched yesterday
I do the dishes
I put them away
My friends call me
I have nothing to say
Good times are waiting for me
Somewhere

By the bed
Is a picture of you
I should move it
But I never do
Lying there
In a bed made for two
Pissed off
That I’m still missing you
Good times are waiting for me
